AN UNPUBLISHED GUINEA?

Every day the post brings us coins sent in for identification and valuation j large coins,
small coins, coins struck in gold, silver and copper, common coins and rare coins.

Perhaps they may have been found amongst the oddments in an old attic chest or even dug
up in the garden. One thing they almost certainly have in common is that their proud owners
are sure they have found a fortune, and it only remains for us to tell them the size of it.

Sometimes we can tell instantly what the item is and its market value. Occasionally it is
not so easy and the vast resources of our accumulated numismatic knowledge have to be
employed.

Such was the occasion when the item we illustrate on the plate opposite was carefully
unpacked and laid before us. This was indeed something new, something on which no effort,
however great, should be spared to achieve accurate identification.

It was clear that the letters which read golden guinea above and below a central design
could hold the key to the problem. There appeared to be a head facing right in the centre
and the following letters were visible with the aid of a high power glass, georgiv . . . . e grati.
We believe that we are correct in interpreting this as georgivs iii de gratia.

Having gleaned all we could from the design and lettering, our attention then turned to the
planchet itself. Certainly it was an irregular flan. Could it be a trial striking on a piedfort of
some unknown and, until now, unrecorded die ? The metal although gold in appearance was
rather pliable and our unanimous decision was that it must be gilt lead. This fact was in
accordance with its s.g. (specific gravity) although we did consider its weight a little heavy at
98 grains (6.35 gms.) for its size.

Was it contemporary (George III 1760-1820) ? If so what was it ? Our enormous library is
certainly lacking, in as much as not one book makes any mention or gives any illustration of
this piece.

We have great pleasure (not to say satisfaction) in announcing that we have now effected
positive identification. In order to give our readers the pleasure of pitting their knowledge
against ours we are refraining from giving our verdict. We will however print the answer next
month. Should any one think they know what it is, we will pay one guinea (not golden) for the
first correct answer received. — P.F.P.

THE CAPTAIN’S SEA-CHEST.

By Philip T. Meldrum, Ll.B.

“Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest —

Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum!”

So sang Long John Silver, to the accompaniment of his parrot’s piercing cry:
“Pieces of eight, pieces of eight!” But if truth is not always stranger than fiction it
can at least parallel fiction and so form the basis of a good numismatic story, as I
purpose to prove.

I have before me, as I write, a remarkable letter written by a Mr. Downs, Chief
Officer of H.M.S. “Emma”, shortly after the death of his commanding officer,
Captain George North of Hull. Addressed to the Captain’s brother, it is dated
merely “18th May”. I know from research that it was written in the year 1829.

It appears from the letter that the Captain was taken ill in Bombay with an
inflammation of the liver on 14th December in the previous year, for which he
underwent an operation. Having lost his memory on 22nd December, he “died a
mere shadow on 4th February”. He was “interred on Sunday afternoon the 15th
attended by nearly all the Captains of the Fleet 8 boats in procession nine of his own
crew and the boats crews of the different Ships”.

Like the old buccaneer of “Treasure Island” the Captain had a sea-chest. “I
have taken into my possession”, writes Air. Downs towards the end of his letter,
“all his effects Wearing Apparel and a Box containing 971 Spanish Dollars his book
and Accounts 3 Sovereigns and 8 Rupees 2 Shillings. By what I can make of the
Accounts I think there are several things that he has not charged the Ship for and
he may have advanced money to the Ships Company from the proceeds of the
Brandies”.

THE CAPTAIN’S SEA-CHEST

3

The box I do not nave, alas, but imagination — like Aladdin’s lamp — has a
strange magical power. Open Sesame!

“Pieces of Eight”

The “Emma”, a graceful man-o’-war, lies at anchor in Bombay harbour, her
sails flapping lazily in the breeze. Her very name — clearly connected with Emma
Hamilton, mistress of Lord Nelson — creates an immediate aura of romance.

Boarding the ship over a precarious gang plank, I cross the deck and climb the
companionway to the Captain’s cabin. Softly, I open the hatch and enter. A sad-faced
Mr. North stands disconsolately beside his late commander’s oaken chest, a cumber¬
some object some six feet in length with hinged iron handles at either end. He is a
tall, youngish-looking lieutenant with a shock of black curly hair which continues
down the sides of his face in thick, mutton-chop sideboards. He wears a blue
double-breasted tail coat with a high white collar and two rows of brass buttons
down the front, a single row of gold distinction lace about his sleeves. His trousers
of white Russian duck are fastened beneath the insteps of his black, square-toed
shoes with a band. A peaked uniform cap lies on the table beside a telescope, a
decanter of brandy and a goblet. In the centre of the table lies an open ledger, upon
which is laid a steel-pointed pen. A heavy pewter ink stand completes the picture.

Slowly, the Lieutenant raises the lid of the sea-chest. It is brimming with a vast
hoard of broad, handsome-looking silver coins. Almost a thousand Spanish dollars
glint in the tropical sunlight. I hastily estimate the present-day value of this treasure
at anything between £ 15,000 and £50,000! If sold “complete as found in Captain’s
sea-chest”, together with a certificate of authenticity, who knows what it might fetch ?

A small leather bag has been carelessly tossed on top of the silver harvest, its
mouth drawn together with cord. Lifting it out, the Lieutenant turns and deposits it
on the table. Glancing towards the ledger, I observe that he is preparing an inventory.
He picks up the pen, dips it in the ink and writes in a fine, delicate hand :

“971 Pics, of Eight . . . . £267-0-0”.

Sensing my presence he raises his large, dark brown eyes towards me. “The
Captain was a rich man!” he exclaims. “I count these pieces daily, lest my rascally
crew take a fancy to some. ‘Tis great wonder they are still all here. My relief will be
great when I can stow them with poor Mrs. North. The Captain forever spoke of his
Jane and the children. Seven years they were married. An unfortunate woman —
widowed at thirty!” I make appropriate sympathetic noises.

“Tell me about the dollars”, I urge.

“ ‘Pieces of eight’ we call them”, he explains, “because somewhere in their design
or inscription was a figure of 8, meaning ‘8 reales’. The earliest pieces were struck
in Peru in the sixteenth century as crude hammered ‘cobs’. This expression, you
know, is a corruption of the Spanish phrase ‘cabo de barra’, meaning ‘cut from bars’.
The reverse bore the Pillars of Hercules which, according to the ancient Greeks,
formed the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea”. He pauses momentarily to extract
from his pocket a small scrap of paper.

“The figure 8 stood between the two pillars, thus . . He draws on the paper
with the pen, which is still in his hand:

| 8 |

“At one time ‘cobs’ passed as currency in the United States of America, before
independence was declared. Their design is said to have given rise to the dollar sign,
which you will now find in use”. He illustrates his point with a further design:

$

“Denominations smaller than that of 8 reales were obtained by cutting up the

4

THE CAPTAIN’S SEA-CHEST

dollars into eight segments, or ‘bits’. That is why you sometimes hear Americans
speak of a quarter of a dollar as ‘two bits’.”

“Most interesting”, I comment.

“But that is not all. Running across the face of the coin, in a straight line below
the figure 8, appeared the motto: ‘Plus Ultra’, meaning ‘More Beyond’. This was
an adaptation of the Latin phrase ‘Non plus ultra’, meaning ‘Nothing Beyond’,
which was anciently applied to the Straits of Gibraltar before the discovery of the
New World”.

“But these are not ‘cobs’ ”. I nod towards the contents of the chest.

“Indeed, no. ‘Cobs* are too crude and uncertain in weight to satisfy traders
hereabouts. Dollars struck by fine new machinery were introduced in my father’s
day. It was in 1732, to be precise, when ‘Pillar dollars* came into use. A further sort
of dollar was minted in 1772. Both types are still universally acceptable in the Far
East, and weight just under one ounce Troy”.

Stooping, he picks up from the deck a crumpled old newspaper, yellow with age.

“I found this yesterday, crammed into a crevice in the bulkhead. It is vastly out
of date, but will illustrate what I am about to relate”.

He hands me a copy of Lloyds List for 11th January, 1793. I read aloud —

“Pillar large”, North explains, “refers to two large pillars appearing on the
reverse of the 1732 type. Two overlapping hemispheres hover above a stretch of water
flowing between the pillars, representing the Old and New Worlds, these being
surmounted by the crown of Spain. A most arrogant design, in my view, for everyone
knows it is Britannia who rules the waves ! Above this design is inscribed the motto
‘Utraque Unum’, which may be freely translated as ‘Two into One*. On the obverse
is a crowned shield of arms, with a figure of 8 to the right of the field”. He picks one
out and hands it to me.

“What is Spanish for ‘two worlds’ ?” I query.

“ ‘Dos mundos’, I believe”.

A feeling comes over me that I have heard the expression before. Of course!
‘Dos mundos’ dollars.

“And what is the meaning of ‘Pillar small’ ?”

“This refers to the 1772 type. The crowned shield disappears from the obverse
and is replaced by a portrait of the King of Spain. The pillars appear on the reverse
side of the coin, much reduced in size, standing on either side of a crowned shield of
arms. The figure 8 appears in the general inscription round the shield”. He hands me
a specimen.

“Who is the King ?” I ask.

“King Charles III. What a nose! Here are some more portraying Charles IV
and Ferdinand VII”.

He passes two more pieces.

“What are these marks ?” I indicate some curious defacements on one of the
coins.

“Those are chop-marks, punched into the face of the coin by Chinese merchants
as an indication that they consider the coin to be genuine”.

“How curious”, I murmur. “And where were these coins minted?”

BY PHILIP T. MELDRUM

“In Lima, Mexico City, Potosi, Santiago and Guatemala. ‘Mexico large’ in the
List, of course, refers to the large ‘Pillar dollars’ of Mexico City. ‘Mexico New’ refers
to the portrait type. You will appreciate that these were comparatively new when the
paper was printed, although now it is old”.

“Forgive my mentioning it, but your figure of £267 for 971 ‘Pieces of eight’ does
not correspond with the quotations in Lloyds’ List”.

“As I have remarked, the paper is old. In 1811 the Bank of England produced
dollars which were overstruck on old Spanish dollars. The price of silver had risen
by then, and they were declared current at 5s 6d each. This is the figure upon which
I have based my appraisal”.

Sovereigns, Rupees and Shillings.

Striding over to the table, the Lieutenant picks up the leather bag. He unfastens
the cord and jettisons its contents. An odd assortment of coins lies before us,
including three golden sovereigns. These he separates from the rest of the coins and
writes :

“3 Sovereigns . . . . £3-0-0”.

“May I examine them ?” I ask.

“Certainly”. He hands them to me.

I notice they are dated 1817, 1821 and 1825 respectively.

“These are very significant dates” I observe, to the Lieutenant’s surprise.
“Sovereigns were first introduced in England during the reign of Henry VII, but
were discontinued in 1603 and did not re-appear until 1817. This was the first year
in which King George III struck his fourth gold coinage”.

“I well remember the great re-coinage of silver in 1816”, says the Lieutenant.
“I was much too young to possess any gold. And what is the significance of the dates
1821 and 1825?”

“These are the commencing dates of the first and second issues of King
George IV”.

“God bless him!” cries the Lieutenant. He pours himself a brandy and drinks.
“It is strange”, he resumes, “But one never seems to notice the changes in the
coinage of one’s own day”.

“No doubt you have noticed that the sovereigns of George III and those of the
first issue of George IV bear a close similarity. In both cases the king wears a laurel
wreath, whilst the reverse design is that of St. George and the dragon. On the latest
issue the king’s head is bare, whilst on the reverse side a crowned shield of arms
replaces St. George”.

“I must confess, I had never noticed. A sovereign is just a sovereign to me. With
rupees, it is different. The types are many and varied, and one has to be careful.
Those circulating nowadays in the three presidencies of Bombay, Bengal and Madras
are struck by the East India Company, but this was not always so. Here, in the
Bombay presidency, the Nawab of Surat struck hand-made ‘dump’ rupees from
1733 to 1780. They were inscribed with Indian characters and bore no design. They
are readily identifiable by a sunflower-like distinguishing mark ensconced in the
inscription. In 1825 they were countermarked by the Company with the date in
English, incuse on a label. See! Here in one on the table. In 1805 the Company
imitated this type of ‘dump’ with machinery. Their production was in fact authorised
in 1800 and it is this date — inscribed in Arabic numerals according to the Islamic
calendar— that they all bear, notwithstanding the fact that their issue continued
until 1818”.

“The remaining rupees appear to be much thinner and rounder than the ‘dump’,
whilst some of their edges are grained and others are not”.

6

THE CAPTAIN’S SEA-CHEST

“The milled-edge type were produced from 1818 to 1823, whilst the plain-edge
type are still in production. Both types are similar in their inscription, the only
exception being that the former still bear the frozen date, 1800. They are all
identifiable by the sunflower’\ He bends over the ledger and makes a further entry :

“8 Rupees @ 2s 6d . . . . £1-0-0”.

“The shillings are commonplace. One is dated 1816, the year of the great re¬
coinage which I have already mentioned. I remember it being proclaimed by the
Town Crier on 1st March, 1817, that silver coins current before 22nd June, 1816,
were no longer to be legal tender. The other shilling was minted but last year. See
how it shines! A lion standing on the crown — will ever this design be repeated, I
wonder ?”

“It was re-introduced in a modified form by Edward VII”, I reply.

My voice rings hollow. The cabin empties. My reference to the twentieth century
has broken the spell, and I am transported back to my room.

“. . . Poor Jane!” I muse. “I wonder what happened to her?” I dip into my
pocket for a cigarette, but my fingers merely close on a folded slip of paper. Removing
it from my pocket, I open it and read :

SOME NOTES ON THE COINAGE OF
BRUTUS AND CASSIUS.

With particular reference to their dating
and place of mintage.

By F. White and C. Kirkpatrick.

With two exceptions the coins of Brutus and Cassius were all struck after the
assassination of Julius Caesar in March 44 b.c. and before the defeat of the Republican
forces at Phillipi in October 42 b.c. The period is well documented but as usual the
authorities do not always agree. Even so, our knowledge of these years is probably
better than most of similar duration in antiquity.

Of the coins which have survived to our own day struck during these years, we
shall concern ourselves only with those issued by Brutus and Cassius. The con¬
temporary issues of the Caesarian faction and the regular issues of the Roman mint
struck by annually appointed moneyers are outside the scope of these notes.

The Imperial coinage, like the political changes, developed gradually from that of
the Republic, but they did not progress conjointly. Brutus, who found Caesar’s
innovations offensive and a danger to the State, was not adverse to following his
example in respect to the coinage. Brutus’s portrait on the coins would certainly
have shocked Republicans of an earlier generation, but by then the coinage was

NOTES ON COINAGE OF BRUTUS AND CASSIUS

well on its way to possessing the features which characterised the later Imperial
coinage. Had Brutus triumphed and the Republic been preserved, the days of the
traditional Republican coin were already numbered.

Historical1

Julius Caesar was assassinated at a meeting of the Senate on the 15th March
44 b.c. The general disapproval which followed the assassination had not been
expected and the “liberators” unable to control the situation, fled to the Capitol.
Although an amnesty was voted by the Senate, an angry mood prevailed amongst
the citizens. When Caesar’s will was read and amongst other bequests, seventy-five
denarii were left to each man, the crowd in a frenzy tried to burn down the houses
of the conspirators. Most of the assassins made a hasty exit from Rome at this time
and within a month of the assassination Brutus and Cassius decided to leave. Antony
obtained a dispensation for Brutus who as Urban Praetor was prevented by a law
from being absent from the city for more than ten days. In Campania they were
kept informed of events in Rome so that they might return at the earliest favourable
occasion. Octavius, Caesar’s great-nephew and heir had arrived in Rome towards
the end of April and it was difficult to determine from his manner whether he might
prove troublesome. Antony’s time was spent consolidating his position. Early in
June Brutus and Cassius were informed by the Senate of their appointment as
commissioners responsible for the shipment of corn to Rome. Cassius refused to
accept the appointment, considering it as an insult. Brutus sought Cicero’s advice.

Due probably to the influence of Servilia the appointments were rescinded and at
a meeting of the Senate on the 1st August, Crete was assigned to Brutus and Cyrene
to Cassius. Brutus sailed from Velia in September and Cassius left Italy shortly
afterwards. But they did not go to the provinces to which they had been assigned.
Their personal safety and the State’s welfare they reasoned would be more certain
if Antony’s recent menacing behaviour could be curbed. They sailed for Greece.

In Athens they were received as champions of liberty and were greatly honoured.
After a short stay Cassius left for Syria where he hoped to raise money and troops.
Brutus acted similarly in Illyricum and Macedonia. In Apollonia he captured Antony’s
brother Gaius who had arrived early in January to commence his Governorship. In
Rome, Antony had been declared a public enemy early in the new year for illegally
trying to acquire control of Gaul.

When Brutus and Cassius wrote to the Senate saying what they had achieved and
placing themselves and their legions at the Senate’s service, the Senate responded
by confirming them in their provinces.

Shortly after this Brutus crossed to Asia to raise auxiliaries and returned to
Europe in the summer of 43. During August a brief campaign was conducted against
the Bessi, a Thracian tribe who occupied the country about the rivers Axius, Strymon
and Nestus and according to Dio Cassius, Brutus received the title Imperator.

In November Octavian ceased playing the part of a Republican and was reconciled
with Antony. Admitting Lepidus, the “Second Triumvirate” was formed. One of
the reasons for forming the Triumvirate was to avenge Caesar’s death, but to carry
out the task was another matter. The strength of the Republican forces was growing
daily. Brutus and Cassius met at Smyrna at the end of the year. They knew that
shortly they would come to grips with the forces of the Triumvirs but neither side
was quite ready. Brutus and Cassius imposed heavy taxes on the cities within their
sphere of influence and subjugated Rhodes and Lycia who had Caesarian sympathies.
The Triumvirs ridded themselves of their personal enemies and raised money by a
proscription similar to that of Sulla’s time. The legions of the Triumvirs crossed to
Macedonia and Brutus and Cassius united their forces at Sardes. The Republican

8

NOTES ON COINAGE OF BRUTUS AND CASSIUS

legions left Sardes about the end of July and the opposing armies met at Phillipi in
October. The issue at stake was the survival of the Republic. The victory of Antony
and Octavian paved the way for the forming within a few years of the Roman Empire
and a new stage in the world’s history.

Coins Issued by Brutus as Moneyer

The following coins fall outside the period described in the historical sketch.
They are generally considered as having been issued by Brutus during his term as
moneyer responsible for the production and issue of the State coinage. There is
nothing on the coins to suggest that they were issued by anyone other than a regular
moneyer. Although we are not told in the literature that Brutus ever held this office,
it is most probable that he did and the appropriateness of the types make their
attribution to Brutus almost certain. His quick elevation in rank following his term
as moneyer would largely be due to his being a favourite of Caesar.

The types are in keeping with the practise which had developed of honouring
the moneyer’s family on the coins. L. Junius Brutus is renowned for rousing the
Romans to free themselves from the tyranny of their kings and then becoming the
first consul. Brutus also claimed descent on his mother’s side from C. Servilius
Ahala who in 439 b.c. slew Spurius Maelius for having dictatorial ambitions. There
is no doubt that the choice of types was deliberate and would not be without relevance
to affairs at the time of their issue. If 50 b.c. is the correct date of issue (their earliest
appearance is in the Cadriano hoard of 49 b.c.) the coins are a bold reminder to any
would be tyrant of the end he deserves. The warning seems to have gone unheeded.

“Brutus” Denarius issued by L. Servius Rufus

Sydenham has suggested that the moneyers at Rome during the year 43 b.c.
issued denarii showing anonymous portraits of Caesar, Octavian and Brutus. Antony
who had been declared a public enemy at the beginning of the year is naturally not
represented. The likenesses on the coins are quite striking and it seems appropriate
to include a description of the “Brutus” coin. It should be noted however that the
attribution of the portrait to Brutus is no more than a suggestion and there are
reasons for considering the portrait as being more probably that of an ancestor of the
moneyer.

Coins Issued by Brutus in Greece

Brutus arrived in Greece during October 44 b.c. and shortly afterwards he began
raising an army. The army was largely paid for with money received from Trebonius,
governor of Asia, who had been involved in the assassination and the need to issue a
coinage of his own during the early days in Greece did not arise. His presence in
Greece and the raising of any army had not been authorised by the Senate and
Brutus no doubt would have issued coins in his own name without the Senate’s
consent at the earliest occasion he thought it necessary to do so. As it happened the
need did not arise until after he was invested with the dignity of Proconsul. The
flight of Antony across the Alps following the relief of Mutina and the success of
Brutus and Cassius in establishing themselves in their illegally held provinces caused
the Senate to recognise their position and grant them the rank of Proconsul with
authority over the other eastern governors. They received this title about the middle
of May 43 b.c. and the earliest coins inscribed procos probably appeared during the
summer of that year.

The examination of the coins of Brutus show them to be the products of several
mints. Coins of the same mint can be distinguished and grouped but it is more
difficult to identify the mints.

The Liberty/lyre denarius and its associated quinanus are the earliest of Brutus’s
coins and their attribution to Apollonia seems probable. The coins of L. Sestius and
L. Plaetorius Cestianus form a group. Notice the similarity of treatment of Liberty
and Ceres. The latter is distinguished only by the modius. The coins of this group
are amongst the most plentiful of Brutus today and were struck at the chief Republican
mint.

The denarii struck to commemorate the victory over the Bessi are so different in
style that all three must be assigned to different mints. Mattingly,2 on stylistic
grounds places coin No. 6 with the denarius and quinarius struck at Apollonia. It is
most probable that Apollonia should issue a victory type following the successful
conclusion of the Thracian war and the style of No. 6 is the nearest to that of the
Apollonian mint. Of the other two, the different treatment of Apollo and the victory
trophy, the size and spacing of the border of dots and the omission of the adoptive
name on the denarius of Costa make their attribution to different mints certain. The
smaller lettering on the aureus of Costa does not indicate different mintage. The
small lettering is made necessary by the border of oak leaves and the aureus and
denarius of Costa belong to the same mint. Similarly the aureus and denarius of
Casca characterised by closely spaced lettering and high relief belong together.
There are, therefore, five mints producing coins for Brutus. The earliest coins being
struck at Apollonia, those of Sestius and Cestianus perhaps at Thessalonica or
Amphipolis. The remaining coins are more difficult to assign to a mint. One issue
commemorating the Thracian war was probably struck in Thrace. Abdera seems an
appropriate place to issue coins with Apollo but the use of that god on coins of Brutus
eminating from different mints makes an attribution on such a basis highly conjectural.
We must therefore recognise that at present definite and final attributions to mints
cannot be made.

The best known of the coins of Brutus is undoubtedly the famous eid mar
denarius. It is one of the few coins to be explicitly mentioned by an ancient author.
Dio Cassius 3. informs us “In addition to these activities Brutus stamped upon the
coins which were being minted his own likeness and a cap and two daggers, indicating
by this and by the inscription that he and Cassius had liberated the fatherland”. The
cap of liberty was given to slaves when they received their freedom.

The coin belongs to the main series eminating from the chief Republican mint
and was probably struck over a period of several months. The rarity of the coin
today is very likely due to its having been “called in” by the victors because of its
offensive type. The surviving specimens are seen to have been struck from several
different dies which suggest that the issue must have been more considerable than
might be concluded from its rarity. That some coins escaped detection and circulated
for many years is apparent from the very worn specimens which exist.

NOTES ON COINAGE OF BRUTUS AND CASSIUS

During the civil wars of 68-69 a.d. a series of coins were struck having earlier
Republican types but distinguishable by their reduced weight. Galba in Spain at the
beginning of his revolt against Nero struck a denarius modelled on the eid mar
denarius, but showing liberty on the obverse in place of Brutus. A cap and two
daggers are shown on the reverse with restitvta beneath.

Coins Issued by Brutus in Asia

No coins were struck in Asia on the occasion of Brutus’s visit to that province
to raise auxiliaries in the early summer of 43. Had any been struck they would have
been inscribed procos, but none exist. The four coins of Brutus that belong to Asia
were issued by joint legates of Brutus and Cassius and are products of the same mint
as those struck for Cassius. It is clear from the types that they were struck after the
Lycian campaign. The mint then can only be Sardes and the coins were issued during
the months immediately proceeding Phillippi. Those still bearing his adoptive name
Q Caepio are the last issues in that name and were issued when Brutus and Cassius
first met at Sardes. *

There is some doubt about the existence of the last coin. Sydenham has not

available for study.

Coins Issued by Cassius in Asia

All the coins of Cassius were struck in Asia and with one exception, on all his
coins he is styled Imperator. We know from Plutarch that Brutus and Cassius were
hailed Imperators at Sardes. Certainly for Brutus the Imperatorial acclamation at
Sardes was not the first, for he had previously received that title following the
Thracian expedition as Dio Cassius informs us and can be seen from his coins. It is

also possible, although we are not told that Cassius was hailed Imperator earlier,
perhaps following the capture of Laodicea and that at Sardes both were again
honoured following their recent victories over Lycia and Rhodes.

The coins issued by Lentulus Spinther certainly were struck at the same time as
those of Spinther issued for Brutus. The occasion can only be after their meeting at
Sardes. Most of his remaining coins are seen also from their types which commemo¬
rate the victory over the Rhodian fleet to have been struck not earlier than the spring
of 42 B.c. We conclude then that irrespective of when Cassius was acclaimed
Imperator his coins are of late date and were minted at Sardes.5

The aureus inscribed procos (no. 23) from its style belongs to the same mint as
the other coins of Cassius. Either it was struck immediately following the meeting of
the Republican leaders at Sardes or the mint at Sardes was operating for Cassius
before his visit to that city. The former supports the view that Cassius was not
hailed Imperator until the meeting at Sardes, the latter permits that he received the
title earlier.

The large quantity of eastern coinage that Cassius received as tribute probably
accounts for his not having struck his own coins at an earlier date.

Conclusion

The coins of Brutus and Cassius belong to the period of transition from Republic
to Empire, a period of the greatest historical interest and have been studied by
generations of numismatists. In recent years the trend for students and collectors
of Roman coins has been to direct their attention to the coins of the late Empire
where the opportunities of contributing to our understanding of the coinage are
greater and a collection can still be formed at comparatively inexpensive cost. It
would be a mistake however to think that we know all there is to know about the
earlier series. There are coin types, whose meaning continues to elude us and others
where the explanations offered as to their meaning needs to be reconsidered. With our
present state of knowledge the minting centres of the coins of Brutus can only be
surmised, but it is possible that one day a lucky hoard will enable us to make an
attribution with more certainty.

In conclusion it is hoped that the impression has been given that the coins of
Brutus and Cassius and others similarly well-known can be profitably reapproached.

The authors, introducing this latest book on Swiss coins, mention in the foreword that
their intention is to fill a gap in the numismatic literature on this interesting series.

As they say, the reference works on the early Kantonal coins are few and difficult to obtain,
apart from the specialized publications of the Schzveizerische Numismatische Gesellschaft;
and for this reason this new book includes as its main section, a comprehensive treatment of this
series; the other sections deal respectively with coins of the Helvetic Republic and the Con¬
federation (1848 to date).

Each main coin type is illustrated in half tone, and prices are given in Swiss Francs for
coins in three differing conditions.

I was particularly pleased to see a remark in the preface regarding condition and value of
current modern coins, which, freely translated, reads as follows : “A 2 Fr. piece of 1878, standing
Helvetia type can still occasionally be found in change in about ‘Fine’ state, and is of little
commercial value an identical piece in EF or FDC condition, however, constitutes a notable
rarity. This is information which the authors of some of the popular books on modern U.K..
coinage might well be advised to copy!

This book will undoubtedly be welcomed as a most useful addition to the literature by all
those interested in Swiss coins. — P.A.R.

In the quarter of a century since Reifenberg’s Ancient Jewish Coins was first published
in 1940, much numismatic and archaeological research work has been done in the field of
ancient Jewish numismatics. On one or two series of these coins monographs have appeared
in the meantime, but in general these researches have been published in many scientific papers
and numismatic publications and it had become almost impossible for the lay-numismatist and
the collector to keep track of this material. The need for a new handbook to take the place of
Hill’s classic chapters in the B.AI.C. of 1914 and of Reifenberg’s pioneering book has long
been felt.

This reviewer is convinced that Ya’akov Meshorer’s book which had appeared in Hebrew a
year ago and which has just appeared in a very carefully edited and augmented English trans¬
lation will fill this gap for many years to come. The book contains chapters on the coins of the
Persian period (the so-called YHD-coins), the coins of the Hasmonaeans, the house of Herod
(except the Herodians of Chalcis), the coins of the Jewish War and the Bar-Cochba War as
well as appendices on the coins of the procurators, the local “Judaea capta” coins and the local
coinage in the name of Domitian. In a catalogue 318 coin-types and important variants are
described, many for the first time (Reifenberg described 200!), and 305 are illustrated.

The author, a graduate of the Hebrew University, while using the published researches of
others fully, proposes new and original solutions for some of the thorniest unsolved questions
of ancient Jewish numismatics, among them a new attribution of the Hasmonaean Yehohanan
and Yehudah coins and a convincing solution of the different eras on the coins of Agrippa II.
Even if all his theses will not be accepted by every scholar, they will certainly serve as a stimulus
in the tranquil atmosphere of scientific numismatic controversy.

After a concise chapter on the historical background there follow chapters discussing the
problems of every series but more than a third of the book is taken up by the detailed catalogue.
Meshorer gives besides a description of the coin, its inscription, the diameter and the weight
of the specimen illustrated, grades of rarity, as far as this reviewer is aware for the first time
outside a dealer’s list. Unique or almost unique coins have received the rating RRR, those
with up to ten or fifteen specimens known the rating RR and some additional rare ones the
rating R. This means that Meshorer uses his rating sparingly and dealers and collectors are in
for some surprises. It appears that according to Meshorer some expensive Herodian Leptons
(e.g. Archelaus, Reif. 53.54) and the shekels and half shekels of the first, second and third year
of the Jewish War do not merit a rarity-rating at all!

Meshorer has taken special care in choosing the specimens used in the illustrations. He
has drawn first of all on the incomparable Reifenberg collection but many other collections in
Israel and outside it have been searched for unique or very fine specimens. In almost all cases
the legend is clearly legible, no mean achievement for these series, as every collector knows
from his own experience. Even on the illustrated small Hasmonaean leptons every Hebrew
letter can be read.

Every collector interested in ancient Jewish coins should own this book. The reviewer
would not be surprised if the letters Mesh, supplant the customary B.M.C. or Reif. in articles
and dealer’s lists in the near future. — M.H. Y.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE
COIN AMULETS AND THE OTHER NON-CURRENCY

“COINAGES OF CHINA.”

By F. A. Turk.

( Continued from page 463)

Coins, and particularly amuletic ones, were made up into chatelaines that were
carried by young brides both in Corea33 and in parts of North China and Manchuria
according to information given to me by a missionary. Portable shrines to the God
of Wealth (see supra ) are suspended by chains of ornamental coin-like discs strung
together; these might easily be mistaken for amuletic coins. Coins were sometimes
used as ornaments in the head-dresses of women and these were generally, but not
always, amulets of one kind or another, but I know of no coins especially made for
that purpose. The custom itself probably came from Turkic sources.

Since the Chinese gentleman so often had a taste for the fanciful in his ji
surroundings, it is highly probable, as the facilities for casting coins were easily
available at private mints — and in some instances it would seem at Government
ones also — that many of this class of coins were indeed but little more than private
fancies. One suspects that many of the coins having well designed seal writing on
them and enshrining their purpose in somewhat high-flown phrases, are the work of
literati indulging these same fancies. Obvious coins of this kind are not often
recorded but a good example, fairly easily available for reference, might be No. 1913
of the Glover collection. It is exceedingly difficult to know in which class many of
these fancy coins should be placed and the purpose of this category is not so much
one necessitated by the classification of these objects in a collection but merely to
call attention to the possible origin of some of them being little more than a personal
whim.

4 Eb. Several objects that in ancient days were buried with the dead, have, at
different times and by various authors been treated as coins. The curious bronze
fish with a stylized pattern of scales which sometimes occurs in the older native
numismatic works, were possibly objects buried with the dead. The Chinese
archaeologist Su Ping-ch’i34 believes that they were ornaments of the coffin in the
Chou dynasty. Again, the so-called cicada money — well named, since it is in the
form of an attractively stylized cicada — was in reality an object put into the mouth
of the corpse. Coushnir (l.c.) possessed some extraordinary “coins” illustrated as
Figs. 8, 9 and 10 of his paper. These appear to consist of objects like a pair of scissors
and a cock and, because of the presence of the latter, it was believed that they must Mi
have been connected with burial ceremonies. It is possible that other forms of coin- ™
amulets were buried with the dead in some dynasties, especially perhaps, those
inaugurated by foreign powers.

4 F. Such coins as these are sometimes met with even in private collections.
They are, in fact, not only false antiquities but completely fanciful antiquities. The
less reliable Chinese numismatic works figure quite a number of these and often treat
them in a serious manner. Possibly the rich parvenu with pretensions to learning
constituted the section of Chinese society which was seen as the potential market for
such pseudo-antiquities. One cannot however dismiss the surmise that, at least in
some instances, they were little more than medals commemorative of romantic
incidents in past history. To take as an example of this class of coin one picked
almost at random; one can find in the Ching ting chien lu 75 pien 9 fol. 8 the figure of
a large round coin with a square hole and the inscription T’ien Ts'u Fu Pao 76
(“Money of the Palace of the Heavenly Plan”). In the text this is said to be an issue

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE COIN AMULET OF CHINA

17

of the ruler Wu Mu of the State of Ts’u— another name for Ch’u and one of the
feudatories of Chou. This state came to an end in 239 b.c. and the pretensions of this
coin— condemned alike by the style of the inscription, the square hole and much
else — are too obvious to call for detailed exposure.

4 G. Tokens of several kinds were issued in China and, more particularly, bv
the members of Chinese settlements abroad; all however are rare and there is little
literature on them either in Chinese or in western languages. Tokens were certainly
used as early as the Han dynasty although none seems to have come down to us from
that remote time. Here again the distinction between a coin and a token in the
western sense is much less clear in China. What appear to be more or less token
pieces are known from the Sung dynasty and these presumably circulated in rather
restricted localities in some of the provinces of the mainland of China. Chinese
communities abroad, like those of Borneo and the Isle of Banka, issued coins which,
emanating as they did from small confederations of goidmining undertakings, may
well be considered akin to trade tokens.6 & 7 Almost without exception they
are in tin and few seem to have survived. On the obverse they bear the name of the
issuing Kong or association.

Besides these trade tokens there are other kinds even rarer. The more important
“Sing-Song” houses — mostly brothels — issued tokens for the use of patrons who
had an account with the house. These tokens were given to chair-bearers, lantern-
bearers, porters, servants, watermen and such — all, in fact, who had served to bring
the patron safely to the house and look after him whilst he was there. These were
afterwards redeemed by the house itself, being charged to the client’s account.
These tokens are metallic, usually coin-like and bear the name of the issuing house
on the obverse and sometimes some felicitous phrase on the reverse. Soochow and
Hangchow’ appear to have been the centre of this custom and I believe that all the
half dozen or so which I have seen must have come from one or other of those cities.
Whether the brothels in other cities used such tokens I do not know.

4 H. Tallies of one form or another are very ancient in China, several sorts being
described in the Cliou-li 77 (The Book of the Ceremonials of the Chou dynasty).
Some of these tallies were carved from precious stones but metals were also used
for this purpose at quite an early time. Some scholars, following Prof. La Couperie2
have credited the so-called “Lilly-root-heart-money” with being a form of tally,
probably with some reason. Coushnir (/.c.) gives a figure of a metal tally in two parts,
formed in the stylized representation of a child without features, their place being
taken by a coin-like head with a central round hole. The author says that this dates
from the Ming dynasty. Under the Han dynasty metal tallies w?ere given to marquesses
although I am not aware that any have survived. Besides the passes or “tablets-of-
command” which were mentioned above, metal tallies seem to have been given to
various government officers in later times and some of these have indeed survived,
although they are rare in western collections ; I myself have never met with one.

47. Large coin pieces are known which although much larger than the current
cash are of the same metal : they are indeed standards or standard samples struck as
evidence of the quality of the metal used in casting the ordinary coinage. In Ch’ing
times these were sometimes above a 100 mm. in diameter although those of the
reign periods of Hsien Feng and T’ung Chih were smaller as were those produced
by provincial mints. These last had a diameter of around 60 mm. The obverses carry
the inscription of the ordinary cash and the reverse has the characters Chen k'u 78
the first being written in a somewhat abbreviated form 79; the phrase means “The
Guardian of the Treasury”. Provincial mints carried the name of the mint in
Manchu as on the ordinary Ch’ing dynasty cash. The tw^o mints at the capital,

18

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE COIN AMULETS OF CHINA

however, produced the larger sizes and the obverse of these seems never to designate
the regnal period; instead the legend says merely “made by the Board of Works” —
or, “The Board of Revenue” as the case may be; thus Pao yuan chu tsao 80. Such
coins are very rare in the west.

Epigraphy.

This subject poses, equally with the iconography, the greatest difficulty in the
study of these coins. This is particularly true of the amuletic coins where the intention
is obviously to be ambiguous if not deceptive. The languages found on these kinds
of coins are but rarely other than Chinese; however, I have seen examples with
Mongol, Tibetan and Manchu scripts in addition. The Mongol is in the usual
modified form of the Uighur script, generally considerably debased. I have never
seen any in the older Phagspa script, which suggests that few if any of these amuletic
coins with Mongol inscriptions have come to us from the Yuan dynasty. It is just
possible that such may be recorded in the literature and will only need searching for
since coin amulets from the earlier Sung, although rare, quite certainly exist in
Western collections. Similarly of the Manchu script all that I have seen are in the
modified form of 1629; as far as I know none exist in the older unpointed form nor
in the Nii-chen character. Such Tibetan characters as are known to occur seem to
be in some variant of the ornamental Lantsa character. One other inference may be
drawn from these facts and that of some importance ; that is namely that the Manchus
do not seem to have had anything like these coin amulets before their invasion of
China in 1644.

The vast majority of Chinese inscriptions on the amulets and other coin-like
objects are in k'ai-shu or “regular style” writing. A few specimens have characters
in various variants of the Li-shu or “official” style and these sometimes produce a
very beautiful pattern on the finer and older amulets (see Glover No. 1885). Chiian-
shu or seal styles are definitely very uncommon; the several forms of the amulet
giving the twenty-four or fifty-two forms of the character Fu (Happiness) or Shou
(Longevity) in Hsiao Chiian (Lesser Seal style) are, however, well known (cf. Glover
1768). Inscriptions in the Greater Seal character (Ta Chiian ) are even rarer (cf.
Glover obverse of 1745) although one or two amulets are recorded with fanciful and
rather delightful inventions which are basically perhaps modifications of that style
(cf. Glover No. 1742 obverse). The variants of the Greater Seal character used in
cutting seals, in later times, are extremely rare on these medals and “charm coins” and,
where they are to be found, are very likely to mark the piece as a mere private fancy
of one of the gentry class having literary or artistic interests. Finally, a few specimens
are known which are in the Ku- Wen style and one or two seem to have considerable
calligraphic merit (cf. Glover 1910). No Chinese amulet with true Ts’ao shu (Grass (
writing) is known to me, although such is to be found on some Japanese Buddhist
ones. The Hsing-shu or “Running style” is also excessively rare and I am not certain
that any of those, of which I have records, are in fact Chinese. This is somewhat odd,
since one or two cash of the Sung period have quite exceptionally good characters
written in this style.

In addition to the above recognised styles there is often to be found on Taoist
amulets examples of the secret “spell” writing of the Taoist adepts. The only
systematic exposition of the principles of this writing, by a western scholar, which is
known to me, is that to be found in vol. 5, pt. 1, of Father Dore’s work.35 Although
of considerable assistance in classifying the principles on which these characters are
constructed it is not of such detailed help as one might have hoped. Briefly, it is
composed of shorthand formulae of invocation (to the thunder god etc.) together
with curtailed characters written together in fanciful patterns which, in the forms
found on these medals, are often reminiscent of some Greater Seal style writing.

BY F. A. TURK

19

There are, however, other aids more directly useful : I am myself in possession of a
MS. (perhaps 18th century) which has a large repertoire of such writings, against
each of which the normal Chinese characters are given in k'ai shu style. This has
proved to be of considerable use in supplementing Dore’s volume. The MS. has
no title-page but it may be a copy of the Yin fu Ching 81 or “Classic of Secret
Charms”, but 1 have had no opportunity as yet to compare them.

The actual formation of the strokes of the characters on Chinese coin amulets
shows little that would demarcate them from those of other Far Eastern countries.
Certainly the ends of the characters are most frequently rounded and in this respect
differ from those on several Japanese coins where the strokes are pointed as in some
of the inscriptions on the post-mediaeval cash of that country. It may be noted here
that many of the figures given in numismatic works are unreliable in this respect
and needless to say the coins themselves must be studied to evaluate such details.

Certain complications exist in the actual writing which may make for difficulties
in reading it, at least for westerners with less than a good knowledge of written
Chinese. Firstly the characters are sometimes run together in a rather fanciful
manner, a practice commoner perhaps on the charm coins functioning as talismans
for bringing good luck, wealth, long life or other such desiderata. An example easily
to hand is to be found in Glover No. 1702, although the actual coin usually has the
characters somewhat more closely interwoven than Glover’s woodcut shows them
to be.

Besides the kinds of script in use on these medals one is often struck by the fact that
certain characters on a coin will be written in an aberrant manner. So, bn the obverse
of one such in my collection, with an inscription reading “(May you live) for 1000
years like a man of the Spring and Autumn (Annals) Period”, the character for
Autumn, cKui 82, is written as 83 which seems to be of no significance at all. Yet,
etymologically it may well have a meaning for according to Wieger36 the former
means the season when the grain 84 is burned, 85, but it would have equal force to
say the season when the grain is great 86. Not all the alternatives of the writing have
this obvious reasonableness. For example, sometimes the strokes are re-arranged to
give otherwise unknown characters : thus, an amulet in my collection has the phrase
Using Ch’en 87 (“The Stars”) with the second character written as 88. Another
change in the normal writing quite often found is that the composite parts of the
character i.e. “radical” and “phonetic”, are written on opposite sides or disposed
otherwise than in the normal way or, rarely, when normally interpenetrant they may
be completely separated. Thus, on a charm of the K’ang Hsi period which I have,
the character Ping (“to grasp or hold”) 89 is written as 90.

More detailed study of the epigraphy of these “coins” may well prove capable
of yielding a considerable amount of useful information especially if, by comparison,
various styles of usage can be discerned.

Envoi.

As oriental coinages usually only give us information which is supplementary to
the fields of economic and political history, the coin charms and medals of the Far
and South East of Asia are to be especially welcomed into numismatics because they
supplement our knowledge of social, religious and art history as well as they illus¬
trate matters of anthropology and linguistics.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, FROM THE PRESS, ETC.

From Miss Eccles: After almost 34 years’ service with B. A. Seaby Ltd. I have retired.

I feel quite sad at leaving and shall miss my good colleagues and all the bustle of Seaby’s.

It has been most interesting and gratifying watching the growth of the business which our
chairman, Mr. H. A. Seaby, recorded in the July 1966 Bulletin, and I have enjoyed very much
the small part I have contributed.

I now leave a younger generation to carry on my work and send best wishes to all my
friends, both old and new. — Margaret Eccles.

Cridling Stubbs Hoard. At the beginning of October a hoard of some 3,300 coins was
found near Cridling Stubbs, buried in a pottery container. The coins, which are all of bronze,
are Roman, of the fourth century a.d. They are now at Leeds City Museum, where they are
being identified and catalogued as a preliminary to the preparation of a detailed report on the
discovery.

The circumstances of deposition may well be connected with the disturbances which followed
the death of Constantine II in 340 a.d. and led up to the visit of Constans to Britain in the winter
of 342-3. — Miss E. J. E. Pirie, Leeds Museum.

Devizes Tokens. Any available information on the fourteen 17th century traders’ tokens
issued in Devizes would be welcomed by the Devizes Coin Society which has started a research <
project with a view to eventually issuing a book on the subject.

The tokens, all farthings, were issued during the Cromwellian period. Despite the fact that
this historic town was very much concerned in the civil war very little is known about the
ordinary people at the time. The castle, once described as the strongest in Europe, was taken
by the Parliamentary forces and on nearby Roundway Hill the Royalists achieved one of their
few major victories of the war. Yet it is not even known where the loyalties of the local people lay.

The project will necessitate much pouring through dusty documents by members of the
Society, which also hopes to collect a list of contemporary prices so that the real value of
currency at the time can be established. — N. West, 13 The Moorlands, Devizes, Wilts.

Canadian Coinage Design. The Honourable Mitchell Sharp, Minister of Finance,
announced today that following the Centennial Year, the Royal Canadian Mint will revert to
the familiar designs that were used prior to 1967 for the reverse sides of Canadian coinage.
The Minister said this will mean that the special wildlife designs on coins produced this year
will be limited to the Centennial coins.

Mr. Sharp noted that, in announcing last year the choice of the Centennial coin designs,
he had said that the response of the public would be considered in deciding what designs
would be used on coins after the Centennial Year. The Centennial coins have been well received.

In the first eight months of this year, total output of coins has been 74 per cent higher than the
corresponding period of 1966.

The Centennial coinage designs were created by Alex Colville, an internationally known
artist of Sackville, N.B. All but one of the former designs, which will be re-issued by the Mint
next year, were first adopted for the reverse side of Canadian coins in the 1930’s. They were
the work of three men: the one-cent and five-cent coins by the late George Kruger Gray, a
British designer; the ten-cent, twenty-five-cent and one dollar coins by the late Emanuel Hahn
of Toronto, and the fifty-cent coin by Tom Shingles of Victoria, retired Chief Engraver of
the Royal Canadian Mint. The canoe design of the silver dollar went into use in 1935, the Coat
of Arms of the fifty-cent coin in 1959, and the others in 1937. — Canadian Dept, of Finance f

Hoard from Rockbourne Roman Villa. A Roman hoard of 7,707 coins was found
yesterday by Mrs. Joyce Ingram, an amateur archaeologist, on the site of a Roman villa at
Rockbourne, Hants. They were in a large grey jar with a criss-cross pattern and two handles.
Mrs. Ingram, 40, a senior education officer in London, noticed a piece of pottery in the side of a
trench outside the villa. She started clearing earth around it, and found the jar.

She said yesterday: “I was very excited, because we don’t often find unbroken jars. The
thought of treasure never entered my head. Then, as I started lifting the jar clear, I suddenly
realised it was packed brimful with coins.”

It took six members of the team digging at the villa four hours to count the coins. Most
are bronze, but some are silver-washed. The coins at the top of the open jar were green with
age, but others inside were in mint condition. They have been identified as Roman coins
from the period a.d. 250 to 280, and are called Antoninianus.

Mrs. Ingram’s find will not be reported to the local coroner as treasure trove because there
is no gold or silver in the hoard. She said: “It is impossible at this stage to put any kind of
value on this discovery. I certainly don’t expect to make any money out of it. I’ve had my
reward already in the thrill of unearthing the jar.” Also in the jar were a few grains of corn

NUMISMATIC SOCIETIES.

Royal Num. Soc. At the ordinary meeting held on
17th October, with Mr. D. F. Allen, President, in the
chair. Professor D. M. Lang exhibited a series of coins
to illustrate the paper which he read on Coin Types of
Georgia and Armenia.

The paper was designed as a panoramic survey of
major issues of Colchis, the Armenian kings of Sophene,
and the Artaxiads in the classical epoch; the Georgian
Bagratids and the Armenian kings of Cilicia in the Middle
Ages; and of the 18th century Georgian Bagratids and
the Russian tsars Alexander I and Nicholas I struck in
Tbilisi. The lecture also included a number of slides to
illustrate the architectural and geographical features of
the major mint towns. When discussing the coinage of
Tigranes the Great, the speaker pointed out certain
discrepancies in the regnal list given by Monsieur
Seyrig in “Revue Numismatique” for 1955; the fact that
Tigranes the Old and Artavazd the Old did not strike
any coins does not entitle us to leave them out of the
numerical list of kings. Monsieur Seyrig’s Tigranes I
and Artavazd I should in both cases be renumbered as
(II) and the rest of the dynasty accordingly. Professor
Lang expressed the opinion that Tigranocerta was an
important mint town under Tigranes the Great.
According to Plutarch’s “Life of Lucullus”, the
victorious Romans found there 8,000 talents of coined
money. Among other issues discussed was the unique
copper piece of King David the Builder of Georgia
(1089-1125), which was purchased by the British
Museum from the Earl of Enniskillen in 1857’

In the subsequent discussion, Mr. P. D. Whitting
drew attention to the resemblance between the effigy of
King David the Builder on this piece and the known
coin portraits of his contemporary, the emperor Alexius
I Comnenus.

British Num. Soc. At the meeting held on
September 26th, Mr. Michael Dolley read a paper
entitled “Coinages of Ireland under the Georges”.

Mr. Dolley, with the help of more than 50 pairs of
colour slides reviewed the Anglo-Irish coinages under
the Georges. He distinguished the official coins and
tokens from the imitations and forgeries, and suggested
that there were many problems deserving of the attention
of the specialist. Included in his talk was paper money,
and one of the slides illustrated a hitherto unknown,
though well documented form of petty paper money,
the “I.O.”

With the permission of the President, Mr. Doiley
cut short his paper in order to give brief reports of 2
major new Viking hoards from Sweden, the Tingstade
hoard, discovered last autumn, and the Lummelunda
hoard which began to come to light on August 19th.
Mr. Blunt, Miss van der Meer, and Mr. Dolley in fact
had been invited by the Swedish authorities to help
with the preliminary counting and sorting of what is
perhaps the most important as well as the largest and
even latest Viking-Age coin hoard to come to light in the
island of Gotland.

At the meeting held on October 24th, Mr. \v . A.
Seaby read a paper on the Anglo-Irish coins in the
Brussels hoard.. .

The speaker started by saying that in the Belfast
Sylloge, 1185-1340, out of 240 Irish pennies of Henry
III, only 160 were from 16 published hoards. However,
there were 2 pre-1914 Belgian hoards, containing Irish
coins, and Brooke gave no details of these. The 1908
St Gudule (Brussels) hoard had contained 150,000
coins, and of these, probably 1800 were Irish. The
hoard was dispersed by auction, 80,000 coins going to
Mr. Baldwin. Mr. Seaby went on to deal with the Irish

coins from Baldwins. He gave a detailed die comparison,
using the classification of Mr. Dykes.

Regarding the amount of money struck in Dublin
under Henry III, there were 3 methods of estimation:
1. From the output of the dies. 2. By comparison with
other mints in England. 3. Evidence from the hoards
themselves.

Mr. Seaby concluded by saying that the die study was
painstaking, but was worth while. More remained to be
found out.

Aberdeen Coin Club. As the Aberdeen Coin
Club enters upon its third year of existence, all its
office-bearers were re-elected, and Mr. A. Guyan was
elected vice-president. At the Annual General Meeting
held in the Y.M.C.A., Skene Terrace, on Wednesday,

TO COLLECTORS IN THE U.S.A.

Re U.S. Executive Order 11037.

We are finding that collectors in the States are having no difficulty in obtaining
Licences for the importation of gold coins (with the exception of some common
modern pieces).

We will reserve any coins ordered, if still available, and will send an application
form by air mail that clients should sign and forward to the U.S. Treasury Department.
Coins will be despatched by us after clients have notified us of the licence number
they have obtained.
